INSTALLATION
 If mixed with air, the flammable vapors may cause explosion. Hazardous areas may be originated therefore by the presence of gas or vapors.
 Explosions or fires may cause damage, even lethal.
 This console is not explosion proof.
 Do not install the console in hazardous area.
 Use only fuse 250V – 1A on input power supply

INSTALLATION SITE
Regarding the installation site, it is necessary to consider that the console must be protected against vibrations and extreme climatic conditions (in
particular high/low temperatures, humidity, etc.) which may damage the electrical circuits. Please be sure to install in an area protected from humidity
and sprinkles of water.

220Vac ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

To realize the electrical connection please proceed as follow:
 Switch off all the power switches on the electrical board panel.
 Connect between board panel and the console using the appropriate connectors.
 To connect driving force, please use cable with 3 wires whose section is at least 1.5 mm2 (phase, neutral, earth) adequately protected. Supply cable
must be approved according to standards IEC 60227 or IEC 60245
 Be sure that the power plug used has ground round connection and that there is a protection device acting against short circuits and overloads.
 The power cable must be always easy recognizable and reachable since it has disconnecting function too.

Regarding probes connection, please refer to chapter “Probes connection”.

 There is high voltage into the console which may be lethal.

 The equipment installed in hazardous areas shall be explosion-proof or intrinsically safe according to the degree of protection required.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Fix the console to the wall using the holes on the plastic enclosure. To fix the console to the wall use bolt sleeves.

Bottom side.

PRODUCT CLEANING
For product cleaning must be used a cloth dampened only with water and common detergents non aggressive without use of any acids, chemical
solvents or organic substances.
